Angst and Hopefulness

[in_the_blue]

Just thought I'd grab your attention with that subject line.

• Light that menorah! Happy Chanukah, everyone. It's a festival of lights; it celebrates lights that burn an impossibly long time. Just like magic, in the dark of a winter night, when everyone had given up hope. Are you listening, sff_corgi? There is always hope. That offer I made today stands.


• Yes, I'm still beta-reading, which is just a fancy term for editing. I know the terminology comes from the computer testing world, but pray tell, why do we use it in the realm of fanfic? heidi8? Anybody? Is it simply co-opted?


• I'm ready for the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.


• Last night I saw a great documentary on the Clash. I miss them. I miss Joe. He was only 52.


• My DH is traveling again all next week, which happens to be Hannah's last week of school before the holiday break. That leads me to this question: what plans do people have for the new year? For New Year's Eve?


• I actually did some holiday shopping today. I feel moderately accomplished.


• fourish, ping me if you get a chance? I need something from you.

Uh oh. I'm scared. ;}

Plans for New Year

[h311ybean]

My family is planning to spend the entire post-Christmas week in Baguio City (my grandfather built a biiiig family resthouse there), so if I'm not there on New Year's Day, I'll probably be on my way back home.

New Year's Eve. Going to the in-laws to watch the ball drop. I shall have my one drink of the year, nosh on goodies, and play a board game with the in-laws.

It's tradition. ;-)
